startx -windowmanager should work USUALLY.
as mentioned already you need to keep Fluxbox from starting..
should be somewhere near ;-) /etc/x11
I think the following command as SUPERUSER in /etc and /home/USER dir will help
Code Sample
grep -r -s fluxbox *

shows all the FLUXBOX entries (interessting anyway).
At least one of them should  be altered ;-)
Forgive my unspecific hint but my DSL is busy right now....
And still too little people use grep ;o)
Hope it helps anyway

So, If I am in the Terminal, What would I do from here to disable Fluxbox, and enable KDE to autostart?

For other people's reference, I just what to go on the record as saying that using DSL as a starting point for a KDE desktop isn't the easiest way to get into a KDE environment.  If I wanted a quick and clean KDE I would start with a distribution that already has it as part of it's base install.

If size is an issue you can look at one of the 200MB variants of Knoppix or check out Bonzai.  It is not a live CD, but a lean Debian based distro.  The newest ISOs have XFCE, but the earlier versions had KDE.  All the documentation is in German, but the install is rather easy.

KDE is not really compatible with the way DSL handles X, much will have to be reinstalled.

Good point John.

For further information, the latest Bonzai iso (14th January) has got back to KDE  :)

I like Fluxbox, but for fun I installed Enlightenment to play around with.  I have the same situation in not being able to figure out how to bring it up instead of Fluxbox.  Does DSL play well with Enlightment, or should is it like the KDE situation and I should not waste my time?
Thanks everyone!
